Google Reveal Samsung Smart TV Release For 2012
Over one-and-a-half years after first announcing that they were working with Samsung to develop a smart TV, Google have claimed that they are now in final talks with the Seoul (South Korea)-based company for the development of a new connected TV that would be released in 2012.
Samsung now claim to be in ‘last-stage’ talks with Google on the product, although details of what the TV will contain are currently unconfirmed, although the two companies will carry experience into the deal, having previously worked together on mobile phone products, as well as planning ’companions’ (set-top-box and Blu-ray player), designed specifically for Google’s range of TV’s.
Whatever is included on the new version, Google will be hoping that it is a vast improvement on their first attempt at creating a connected home viewing experience, with the first edition of ‘Google TV’, which has been widely regarded as a disappointment by customers and critics alike. The company themselves agreed, stating last month: ”The initial version of Google TV wasn’t perfect, but launching it gave us the opportunity to learn. These are still early days, and we’re working hard to move forward with each update.”
Yoon-Boo Keun, the president of Samsung’s TV division, said of the developments with Google: “We are in our final stages of talks with Google over releasing our version of a Google TV. The product will be revealed next year for sure but not at the CES in January, although we would probably be able to comment on the release date in Las Vegas.”
While Google are a huge name in the online search industry, have they left it too late to make a big impact with online TV’s?
